Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Visteon Corporation exhibits a mixed ethical record. The company aims for net-zero by 2040, reporting 92% waste recycled and 75% electricity from Green PPAs in 2024. However, critics point to a high CEO pay ratio of 538:1, with the CEO earning over $13 million in 2023 compared to a median employee's $26,796. The company also settled a $12 million property tax dispute. In tech security, a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-8360) was reported, alongside past data breaches, though Visteon implements mandatory cybersecurity training and holds TISAX certification. Visteon maintains a whistleblower policy and anti-corruption training, contributing to a low ESG risk rating.
